The HELP committee rules require the White House to turn over vetting documents at least five days before a confirmation hearing, but Republicans waived those requirements as part of the nuclear option deal.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) demanded that Senate Republicans confirm Hirozawa and Schiffer in a package that includes board chairman Mark Gaston Pearce and two Republican nominees by August, in order to avoid approving a GOP-controlled board.

Of course they will. Regardless of one’s credit rating everyone carries the Karma Card. You can’t leave home without it!
jeffc~:" King Zero has spoken! Do not upset the king!!"
But the king / emporer has NO CLOTHES ON !
Screw the 'over reach' - let the Constitution reign supreme and vet the candidates.
Obviously , Zippy hasn't checked the polls lately as people are beginning to understand the consequence of the last election
and his "race baiters" and useful idiots aren't doing quite so well . The "hundred cities" have resulted in less than 80 concerned citizens.
Zippy , go pound sand !! and tell Harry to go stick his head in the sand because people have learned that they are being USED !!
Feed em fish heads! And the other thing too!
All Obama needs to do is declare the senate in recess and appoint them anyway. Its not like Mcconell(sp) and Mccain well fight back
